Best double live vinyl?


 

Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the height of double live vinyl and the double feature at the movie theater. I'm listening to before the flood - Mr. Zimmerman and the Band. After listening to side one it flips to four, that's just not right.

The Band--The Last Waltz

Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East--This version of Stormy Monday has the best live back-to-back (organ in the middle) guitar solos ever recorded. Kinda hard to play as well...unless you are Duane and Dickie, that is...

Nothing wrong with most any of the others listed here as well...pretty good cross-section of musical styles, tastes, and genres.

Cheers!

I really like live albums and have plenty of double live albums. For me, the criteria for a great live album is when it is better than the original studio tracks. Two such double live albums have already been mentioned:

The Tubes - "What do You Want From Live"

Willie Nelson and Family - "Willie and Family Live"

I also love Little Feat, Frampton, Live at Leeds (neither the original (1xLP), or complete concert (3xLP) are double LPS), Rush, Rare Earth, etc., but the two I mentioned above get the most playing time on my TT.

Genesis "Seconds Out"!

Drums are incredible, Chester Thompson kills it and when Phil Collins joins in on songs like " Los Endos" and the end of "Afterglow"  it simply amazing!

I think I've seen one post that listed anything recorded after the 1970's - I guess that the 60's and 70's were the heyday of live rock albums? 

@voodoolounge - yes, I just checked and apparently it was, though I don't think I ever even saw a vinyl of it.

I've got this promo-only 'Warner Brothers Music Show' live U2 album from 1981 that I got back when I was in the record business, but that's only a single album.

For anyone interested. Found a great live tonight while zapping through some French artists.

Sinclair - Live 1998

@slaw - Steve Winwood is amazing talent. His self titled gets played often. 

Love you Live - Rolling Stones - The El Mocambo side is a gem.

For a wide time range 

Deep Purple- Made In Japan

Alice In Chains- MTV Unplugged 

 

 

Have been streaming a Deep Purple concert for the last hour, kind of mesmerized.

AMTL for Roxy & Elsewhere - I never tire of it.  The video of the concert is also amazing, everybody is so in synch, and Ruth is an absolute baller on percussion.

Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall double vinyl.

This album is a great listen from beginning to end.  Bill really engages the audience throughout the concert. The final song of the album, Harlem - Cold Baloney is so fun to listen to. When Bill tells the audience that.... "this is a show-nuff  shakem on down."  This is a thrilling moment in the show.
